    Enjoy a relaxing break with Keswick holiday cottages

    Located in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Keswick is a market town full of charm and beauty.

    Surrounded by crystal-clear lakes, majestic mountains, dramatic peaks, and breathtaking countryside, Keswick is a haven for hikers, nature lovers, and those looking to get away from it all. Plus, with attractions such as the Keswick Museum and Art Gallery, the Pencil Museum, and the mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circle, you won't be short of things to do.

    You'll need the perfect Keswick holiday cottage to complete your lake adventure. And that's where we come in. At Snaptrip, we have scoured this pretty destination to find only the best holiday homes. From cute little cottages tucked away down quiet streets ideal for a romantic getaway to spacious traditional houses with private gardens ideal for a family break.

    Just choose the perfect accommodation to suit your needs, make yourself at home, and head out to explore the stunning local countryside.

    Why choose a Keswick weekend break or staycation?

    A trip to Keswick is the ideal way to get away from the stresses of everyday life. Away from the hustle and bustle, Keswick offers the chance to relax, breathe in the fresh country air, and lose yourself in its exquisite natural beauty.

    One of the main reasons people flock to the Lake District is to see the stars of the show - the lakes.

    Keswick is located between two lakes, Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwentwater. Lake Derwentwater is a ten-minute walk from the town and makes for an epic day out. The lake measures eight miles in total and offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains. You can go for a bracing walk, take a gentle stroll, or even go on a lake cruise where you can hop on and off to take in the surroundings.

    Bassenthwaite Lake is slightly further away and sits under the shadow of Skiddaw. It's less populated and busy than Derwentwater, and there are walks along several parts of the shoreline.

    The town of Keswick has everything you could want from a small (but lively) market town. It's a quaint town brimming with authentic old shops and ancient pubs. With an excellent selection of boutiques, cafes, tearooms, and restaurants, you can shop till you drop and reward yourself with a traditional cream tea.

    It also has some of the best hiking routes in the whole of the Lake District nearby, so it's a haven for keen walkers and hikers. If you're looking for a slightly easier hike than the mighty Scafell Pike (the highest and most prominent mountain in England), Catbells is a popular fell (a prominent hill) which has a height of 451 metres and is only three miles from Keswick.

    There are lots of brilliant attractions to keep you busy, including Puzzling Place which is packed with fantastic optical illusions, Fitz Park Playground, the famous Pencil Museum, which demonstrates why Keswick was the world centre of pencil manufacturing, and the elegant Theatre by the Lake. If you're visiting in May, you can watch or take part in the Keswick Mountain Festival, which combines open water swims, triathlons, hill runs, live music, and a festive atmosphere.

    More attractions close by include Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Bowder Stone, and Honister Slate Mine, where you can venture down into the mines.

    Whether you want to go for a Keswick weekend break and take in the sites and attractions of the town, or use your cottage as a base to explore everything else the Lake District has to offer, our Keswick accommodations have everything you need.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Jo - Verified booking

      The accommodation was lovely, very well appointed with quality fixtures and fittings.

      Beautiful location, very peaceful. Few minor maintenance niggles, potentially snagging as appeared new, but nothing that impacted the holiday. However, accessibility through the cottage was not ideal and this was not clear when booking. We were away with elderly parents and selected the cottage for the ground floor bedroom, however there were stairs to each lounge/kitchen area and to access the property, some without handrails and this did cause issues and concern. The WCs are low, again problematic for them and the bath, whilst lovely, was unmanageable for them to get in and out of. I think there was access into the cottage at grade, but parking was restricted close to this door, possibly due to ongoing building works. The first drive way gate requires someone to open and close it, within a field which is rural, uneven and at the time muddy terrain, again not ideal if you’re unsteady on your feet. Can I suggest it is worth noting more clearly that the property is not ideal if accessibility is a requirement on the description, but if not a requirement then I would highly recommend a stay here.

    • Kathryn E. - Verified booking

      Beautiful cottage set in idyllic surroundings with a stream running through the garden.

      Very quiet and peaceful with a magnificent view of Skiddaw from the upstairs window. There are lots of walks to be done from the cottage and Keswick is only 8 miles away. Our favorite pub is the Sun Inn in Bassenthwaite, which is a lovely unspoiled little village not far from the cottage - in fact you can walk there across the fields. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Bedding and towels are changed once a week. Just a couple of things though. There are lots of flies around, probably due to the fields of sheep nearby and also the towel rail fell off the wall in the bathroom, as it had not been fitted correctly. We saw from what had been written in the visitors book that it had been like that for about a year or more. We did mention this to Sykes, as we had nowhere to hang our towels. They removed the towel rail, but as of leaving, no replacement was provided. All in all we would love to return to this lovely part of the world and would definitely stay at Low Melbecks Cottage again.

    • June - Verified booking

      Booking via telephone was great, very helpful young man.

      Cottage was lovely and very well equipped. Great kitchen. The beds were fine, if a little hard and uncomfortable. Receiving an email the week before to say wifi had just become unavailable, seems a bit cynical as pretty much every guest book entry listed wifi as not working. An entry in November 2020 said the bathroom towel rail was on the floor in the hall. It was still there, not repaired, at the end of May 2021. The shower leaked and we found it dripped down into the lounge at the bottom of the stairs. Didn't see this until the Thursday before we left. Given all that, we would still return to the cottage as we loved it, the situation and the pool / games room. Oh and we also found some water on the floor in the pool room after it had been raining, maybe roof leaking? Smells a bit damp. All in all a great stay, just a few maintenance issues.

    • Jen - Verified booking

      A really lovely cottage; generous in space and well equipped with kitchen tools, nice linen and a thoughtful and interesting choice of games/books/dvds.

      The (shared) games room and drying room are nice ‘extras’ too. WiFi doesn’t work (we were informed beforehand) and 4g signal is slow but this just added to the ‘get away from everything’ feel that the location suggests. If you want to enjoy the Lakes without the hordes then this is a great choice- off the beaten track in a less busy area, but with the convenience of Keswick down the road. Skiddaw is a good walk from the front door, and the Bassenthwaite a very short drive away- we had several great days with the canoe and SUP, swimming and chilling out (permits can be bought easily online). We’ve bookmarked this place as one for a repeat visit- the house next door can also be linked which is great for a future family meet up.

    • Sarah - Verified booking

      We had a number of minor issues with the property, which have impacted the score given.

      Internet - this did not work from Day 1. We expected limited service due to location, but we had nothing until Day 5 when my husband resolved the issue. It was not as simple as plugging in and unplugging. This should work for each visit. Oven did not reach temperature but grill did. I felt patronised when I explained this to the booking agent. The oven repair person has ordered a new thermostat - so there was obviously a problem The shower is leaking, and obviously has been for a while, into the lounge. The ceiling below is stained. We put a towel underneath the leak to try to avoid damage. The plumber however says it doesn’t leak. The shower in the bathroom always leaked all over the floor - I think this should be looked at.
